Leto's eyes settled calmly.
"I can't accept that."
Of course, he wouldn't understand.
I had helped him tirelessly up until now, whether for my own survival or to protect my people.
But what Meril could do for Leto was on another level. I couldn't do that for him. I couldn't even attempt it recklessly.
"I am incompetent."
"I've heard it all now. If you are incompetent, then all the noblewomen in the Empire should jump into the river."
"That's not what I mean."
"Then what?"
This was difficult. It was hard to explain.
Leto looked at me persistently, urging me to answer.
"The position of Empress requires a stronger woman. Someone who can truly help Your Majesty."
"I've never met a woman stronger than you."
I shook my head. Perhaps because of my frustration, words that shouldn't have come out slipped.
"No. I'm just an ordinary person who can't even use magic."
Leto's eyes widened.
"Magic?"
"...Yes."
"So Shawn was right."
What did Shawn say? What exactly did he tell Leto?
No, let's stop. This isn't a conversation to have with someone who is drunk. I need to get Leto to his room.
"Yes, let's say that's the case. It's too late now, so you should go and rest."
I gently pushed him, but he didn't budge. He was like a wall.
What do you think?
